A piece of childhood . . .
Added 6/30/2009
I've seen this family film many times when I was a kid. Now, it has become a reminder of my childhood. Unfortunately, it isn't as great as the other films that I've watched when I was a kid (like The Land Before Time & Flight of the Navigator). It's very average for an animal flick. But it still has likeable characters, a well-written script, and some nice humor. "Bingo" can still enjoyable for families from all acround the country, but you are warned. There are indeed some fairly dark and intense scenes in some parts, so the little kids might be a bit frightened.

Bad Bingo
Added 5/14/2009
Don't bother! The young boy says "Holy S***" and the dad says "d***" within the first 20 minutes alone! Besides the language, the concept of centerfolds and scantily clad circus performers appear for no reason at all. The parents of this boy are horrendous. There were no redeeming qualities to this movie. I recycled ours (couldn't even bring myself to subject anyone at Goodwill to own it!). If you think I'm just being overprotective, then skip it simply for the extremely bad acting. No matter how you look at it, it is bad Bingo!

Into the trash went this trash

I don't even know where to begin. This movie is nothing -- and I mean nothing -- you'd want your kids to watch, no matter how old they are.
Kids and adults in this movie swear, flip the bird and insult each other. The entire "joke" of a family that would wait out a night before looking for their lost child gave my son nightmares, and he's 10 years old. The flashback to a fire that killed the dog's mother frightened him and the dark plot that centers around an eatery that turns dogs into dogmeat utterly horrified both of us. We turned the movie off after 15 minutes and threw it away. I wouldn't regift this DVD to my worst enemy.

The Movie "Bingo"
Added 9/22/2008
I would have preferred the language remain G in this film. I believe young children learn enough bad language out of the home, that it didn't need to be included in this movie.

And Awful Was Its NAME-O
Added 8/13/2008
This movie will only be appreciated by the youngest of crowds...so WHY ALL THE BAD LANGUAGE? It's touted as a "Family" film..what family would want to sit around watching little kids cuss and give each other the finger?
Maybe it's for an older audience? Ummm...no. The dog drives a car, has a one night stand, testifies in court, gets a nasal membrane transplant (b/c his smeller has worked too hard), administers CPR...Need I go on? Oh...and he spends much of the movie tracking down his human friend who has left him a URINE trail to follow. No wonder his smeller needs to be replaced.
